Theoretical question: What if we get a lights out, Marmol-like Z to pitch the 8th inning. And we get an average of 6 innings a start and a 4.25 ERA from Silva and Gorzo. Does this make it a good move?
The thing you need to remember is that all Cardinals fans and all White Sox fans are very bad people. It's a fact that has been scientifically proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. Being a Cubs fan is the only path to rightousness and piousness. Cardinal and White Sox fans exist to be the dark, diabolical forces that oppose us. They are the yin to our yang, the Joker to our Batman, the demon to our angel, the insurgence to our freedom, the oil to our water, the club to our baby seal. Their happiness occurs only in direct conflict with everything that is pure and good in this world.

I know the money doesn't really matter...but...$18MM for a fucking reliever?

Carlos Zambrano to the bullpen effective Friday. Solid move if he is mentally into it. At least the Cubs are trying to do something!<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I'm loving the idea of Z inheriting runners.
Yikes.

Zambrano's three "worst" seasons 07, 08, and 09 are all better than Silva's (05, 07) and Gorzo's (07) best seasons.
This is just a terrible knee-jerk reaction of a move by Lou. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/shakehead.gif[/img]

I wonder if he will yell at the previous pitcher for leaving them on base for him.

His cramping issues will also probably get worse if he's not on a schedule. This is just retarded on so many levels.

I'm stunned by this move and I don't like it. But I'm not convinced that it won't work.
This is not some silly theory that's unsupported and deserves being mocked by photos of Xena. ![[Image: ITgoyeg.png]](http://i.imgur.com/ITgoyeg.png)
